Now days, when most of the altcoins provide the ability to create a private key offline, I think that there is no reason that we should be storing our private keys online, a thing that may lead them to get revealed in public and get stolen, we should never reveal our private keys online, and all the transactions that we are making should be signed offline, to be later broadcasted into the network( without revealing the private key to public).
If you are storing bitcoins for the long run, you should either be doing that by a hardware wallet or by generating private keys offline and then storing the keys on a usb flash drive that is not connected to the internet.
Topic: How to hold coins in 2018 - page 18. (Read 2539 times)
by 2018 i will not just hold a coin like bitcoin, i will hold some alt like ripple and cardano. This is a great opportunity for coin lovers online, if not now when else you have to collect coins while again cheap and sell when exorbitant prices, such as BITCOIN which has reached a very high and expensive exchange rate in 2017 ago.
In my opinion, this present year is the year of holding of the coins irrespective of the coin which you have bought because of the reason that the market value of the crypto coins is not that much good that one should go for selling of his coins. It is far better to hold your coins and do not panic no matter how bad the market situation is and wait for the right time to make this decision. 
we can not know which coins will be good in 2018. It depends on the market situation, whether the coin is much in demand by the public, or not. but you can see from his powerful community, updates to his community, and his stable company. such as Xem / Nem coins, this is one good altcoin, to be stored in the long run, so that the price is much higher when sold later, and to feel the benefits. the more people who are interested in the coin, then, it will help to advance its own coin.
Just look at the top 10 coins and I'm sure that you will get a clear picture as what coins is good at holding long term. Because I don't think that those coins will lost its value overtime, on the contrary, it can gain significantly in 2018. however, there are a lot of altcoins/tokens which is a good investment as well. That's where doing homework and research for a potential coins comes in. We look at projects and see if they have a bright future ahead and it makes sense to invest it today when the price is still cheap. I wouldn't say what altcoins/tokens is good for investment though, because I may suggest a coin that might go down instead. So do your thing and make the proper judgement.

My portfolio is composed in such proportions: 40% I keep in bitcoin and etherium, all the remaining 60% is the top 50 coinmarketcap coins. And also I study the market of ISO, in which it is also quite good to raise X.

Well my 2 btc got stolen when i held it on PC so im holding my coins now on binance and will never move it. better and most safe
The method never changed, it’s not something new, cause this is method that is being used years ago. I don’t really get what you mean by the price goes down for two months and also goes up for two months? You’re wrong, it never works like that, if it was as such, we would all find it very much easy to buy and sell and make profit. And the price never go up two months and down for two months, it can stay like four months down and when we’re getting to the fifth month it starts going up until end of the year when it will also fall again.
How long should we hold coins?
-Three months minimum since this period you can see a lot difference between their price before and after 3 months.
I spend little time tracking the prices.
Simplest thing to do with your problem is to create your own blockfolio, you can just click it and check the price value if it has green remarks or red one.
Thanks for your thread here. As far as I know this totally depends on you how will you handle your coin. But before investing in any ICO projects you should research about them. There are some good ICO project I am familiar with such as SciDex. Looks like a great project. You don't have to think twice if you would like to invest there. Promising and result oriented project. All the best!
Dude do not go with the ICO projects mate. There are people invested on ICO and loosing their fund as well so before you invest on any project please read their white paper and then decide whether it will work or not.
Then I personally advice every people to invest on the coin or tokens which is listed already because you will be able to grab the profit very soon mate.
If you listen Warren Buffet you would hold at least 10 years, if you don't plan to wait at least 10 years don't be there for 5 minutes.
There is truth in his words, it's not risk free, but its great way to make a lot of money by doing almost nothing, just patiently wait. Who ever wish to sell on tops and buy back in dips will be surprised how hard it is to catch that moments, many times when you think its top price will rise more, when you think you bought on bottom price can drop even more. Making money like that is really a gambling, so if you plan to invest in icos now do it, but wait at least couple years before selling. Only if you can buy a lot then you can try to shortage sometimes, but only sometimes, don't let it become habit.

If I hold, I will wait until the price goes up, I would sell some of it when in need of money for emergencies only. When the price goes up and you think that it's enough for your profit you can sell it now then buy later when price goes down and if the price still increasing better to wait then later on you can sell it for profit. You will wait longer if price won't increase faster or take too long to increase. If you don't want to wait longer because of holding coin then you can do buy and sell but it is risky but still profit. How long will it take to wait? Depends on the coin's price. Hope it helps on how to hold coins. It is very simple all you have to do is keep your coins in a safe wallet like ledger for example. There are two ways on how long you hold but depends on what coin you hold.
1=Short term hold, you will hold your coin not too long then sell, example your coins cost $1000 dollars for example you will sell your coins when your coins cost $1500 for example then you earn $500.
2=Long term hold, your coins cost $1000 at the moment but you wait for 1 year (for example) then luckily (meaning coin's price increased a lot) the coin now cost like $5000 and you feel like the price would decrease then you sell your coin for profit.

It depends on what period you keep your crypto-currency assets.
If for a long time, it is better on special wallets like trezor. And if for a short time, it's better on the stock exchanges.

How long should we hold coins?
In the past 3 weeks, despite all the risks, many investors have hold a large number of coins such as TRX, XVG, XRP, ADA, etc. ranging from good to bad coins including DGB, DOGE.
Getting back a little bit with the psychology of human beings: we are always afraid but very pleasure when others talk about profit. When some coin prices are falling, you only see the negative things in it: "It will surely keep falling, so it’s better to stay away". When it turns back up: "It will plunge again sooner or later?" But when it's high up then: "It will no longer fall".
As an investor, you will have to understand a coin before investing money in it. You should evaluate and consider everything before making the decision to buy and hold for a long term (for 6 months to 1 year , or at least 3 months for the most impatient investors). Because one cycle of increase / decrease of a coin usually lasts for 2 months, understanding coin will give you confidence, psychological preparedness before facing the falling prices
The criteria to assess a coin:
1. General information about that coin
2. The purpose of generating the coin
3. The dev team (do more or say much)?
4. What is the current product? In what stage?
5. Are there existing customers? Potential customers?
6. Vision of future coin? Is it realistic or just expressed in words?
7. Scalability? Can it be accepted by the public? Is it possible to apply to everyday life?
I spend little time tracking the prices. Most of the time is spent on reading news, evaluating coins to make investment decisions. I also spend only 10-15 minutes on technical analysis (It’s not because I view it as unimportant, I’m just get used to it). As a result, I have bought a lot of coin at a very good price. I bought when you were there saying: how can it increase again. I left you far behind, at present, it is greatly safe for all my investments because my investment value has increased by several to tens of times.
You can say whatever in case of rising price, even when you invest in shitcoin. However, when the price falls this low, my balance seems to keep stable thanks to my calculation and comprehensive knowledge about coins. Once investing in a coin, I strongly believe in its future. I choose the right time to buy more coins without any fear of risk!
So how long to hold coins? The answer is that you go learn more thoroughly and comprehensively about the coins you want to invest in and make your decisions.
If we study the behavior of the different crypto coins since the time this year has started, we will not be able to see some good results as the market value of most of the crypto coins have only fallen but now, things are getting little better and that the market value of the coins is improving. You just need to buy some good coins and then do nothing but putting all of them in your wallet for as long as you could so that you can then manage to make more money.In the past 3 weeks, despite all the risks, many investors have hold a large number of coins such as TRX, XVG, XRP, ADA, etc. ranging from good to bad coins including DGB, DOGE.

It is very hard to find out good coins with real use and future potential because there are so many to choose from. I just pick from top 20 coins listed on coinmarketcap.
It's good to keep hold as much possible minimizing the spending on unwanted things. Because, from various predictions it is clear that 2018 will mark a big growth that will continue to the year 2019. So, what we keep hold will surely profit bigger than what we get selling at present.
The very best coin to HODL is bitcoin and the safest way to do it is to put it in a hardware wallet, ledger or trezor, then do HODLING for about 5-6 months or else make it a year the bigger amount you HODL the more profit it will gain, because low amount will just tickle the earn unlike big investment then big earn. We already know the platform of bitcoin so no need to worry, altcoins should have been used for trading. Making money roll.
my investment method %70 bitcoin and %30 alts, i use alts to increase my BTC
